Girly Stuff

This morning Riley went to a school friends house so I decided to spend some girly time with Abbey. First thing we did was make Pink cupcakes
After Jason died we received a few boxes of grocery items, one of the things we got was this muffin mix.



So we followed the instructions on the package and then added a little red food colouring to make the cupcakes pink! We were planning to ice them but didn't get a chance to today .. maybe tomorrow!






Then we set about making some hair things we got from the Warehouse, hair ties and headbands. We rummaged through Mummy's scrapbooking flowers and butterflies and heated up the hot glue gun.



Abbey decided what went where and helped me carefully put them on. Sadly she wouldn't model them for me .. but I am hoping she might let me get some tomorrow!





(sorry about the crap photos night time again!!)

As for promising to show you what I did last night .. well I had a second thought and realised I can't really reveal them until after Saturday ....
But ...
I can show you what I made for Abbeys little doll as another kind of sneak peek!





Now I found the instructions for this NO SEW! Tutu HERE I just did a teeny version for the doll.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

sit has been a busy day for me today! The kids and I have done some baking and I have done some crafting.
I made the kids a Valentines themed lunch which they devoured!


Here is what we baked for Daddy for Valentines Day ...



Chocolate Chip Cookies with pink icing and silver balls, Red Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Icing Sugar. Jase has been at work all day today so hopefully he enjoys his surprise when he gets home!

I did a LO for the TM Scrappers challenge today the challenge was ... Create a single or double page layout with the theme BIG IS BETTER. you can interpret that any way you like. for example big photos, big embellishments, papers with big patterns on them. big titles etc. let your imagination run wild ... I have been wanting to scrap these pics of Riley for a while and this was the perfect opportunity!


This was the very first time he had let us get his face painted ... I was upset I didn't have my camera with me because it was a little smudged by the time I got to take some photos. But he was a really cool tiger!

I also did another LO which I didn't do specifcally for the challenge but used it for anyway! ...


This was Abbey eating her first solid food her Big Helper brother was very serious about giving it to her, she sure did love it though.

Hope everyone else had a HAPPY VALENTINES xoxoxox

Fun Filled Sunday

Today is Jase's birthday ... I spent most of Friday making his birthday cake. He is a HUGE Tennesse Titians fan and since the superbowl is on tomorrow I thought I'd link it in to his birthday ...
I found a picture of the titans football helmet and printed it out as big as I could. I used that for the template for the shape of the cake, as well as the titans logo. I found a recipe for fondant icing and made the logo out of that, the rest of the cake was iced with butter cream icing. Here are the pics ...






Today for Jase's birthday we decided to do something fun for the day. We packed up the picnic bag and headed out to Parakai Springs Aquatic Park. The kids had a blast! Jase and I enjoyed ourselves too! Here a a couple of my fav pics of the day ...






*Red the Crap UPDATE*
Red the Crab has been found in a few different places over the last few days ... In my underwear drawer, on the top of the coke bottle in the fridge, hanging off my bedside lamp and now he is missing again!! I will try to remember to take a photo when I find him next!

I haven't done any crafting for a while (unless you count the birthday cake) but I do plan to make up for that this week! I have lots of things planned!! So .... Watch this Space!

Busy Busy Girl :)

I have been very busy today ....

I have completed two Lo's, made Homemade pizza for dinner and a lasagne for tomorrow night. I have baked a choc/coconut slice and we spent the afternoon at the beach with the kids, I feel like a domestic Goddess today hahahaha
Here are my LOs ... it has been a day for Riley :)




Now off to decide if I am going to cook a banana cake, ice my slice or curl up on the couch with a movie!?
